Of course, that's not the only unique baby name Hollywood has come up with:

Rainbow Aurora – Holly Madison knew she was going to get criticism for naming her daughter, born in March 2013, Rainbow Aurora. So she explained when she revealed her choice that she intentionally wanted something different. "Growing up, there was a girl in my school named Rainbow, and I was so envious of that name," Madison told E! in March. "I thought it was so pretty and unique!"

Monroe and Moroccan – Compared with other names on this list, the ones Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon picked -- Monroe and Moroccan -- are pretty tame. Hey, at least they're spelled correctly!

Blue Ivy – Jay-Z and Beyoncé wanted a name so unique for their firstborn daughter that they even tried to trademark it: Blue Ivy. They ended up losing their bid, as a Boston wedding planner already has a business by the name of Blue Ivy, and she'd petitioned to trademark it as well. "I was really blatantly shocked," the entrepreneur said at the time. "I didn't think it was true, because nobody names their daughter Blue Ivy."

Moxie Crimefighter – We suppose magician Penn Jillette, seen here with his family and magic partner Teller in April 2013, really wanted magical names for his kids. His son's name, Zolten, is actually his wife Emily's maiden name, while his daughter's name is more creative: Moxie Crimefighter. "I love that it's a purely American word ... and I love that it stands for old-fashioned spunk and energy," Penn said in 2007.

Kal-El – Surely, Nicolas Cage was first in line to see the new Superman movie, "Man of Steel." We can only guess that his love for the superhero is what led to him bestowing Superman's kryptonian name, Kal-El, on his son.

Banjo – At least Rachel Griffiths didn't settle on "Guitar." That doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well as the name she gave her son, seen here in 2007, Banjo.

Moon Unit – Frank Zappa's brood all have funky names, such as Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen. But for us, Moon Unit, seen here with Lou Reed in 1995, will always take the cake.

Zuma Nesta Rock – With one son named Kingston, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale had to up the ante with their second son, who was born in 2008. The inspiration behind the name Zuma Nesta Rock has been heavily dissected, with most agreeing that Zuma is a nod to Zuma Beach in Malibu.

Tu – Rob Morrow's daughter Tu is 12 years older than Kanye West's daughter with Kim Kardashian, but we have a feeling they could become best friends. After all, with a last name like Morrow, Tu knows what North is going through.
